1. What would be the total cost to buy 5 bars of soap if one bar of soap costs $0.96?

• A. $3.30
• B. $3.80
• C. $4.30
• D. $4.80

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total cost of purchasing 5 bars of soap, multiply the cost of one bar of soap by the number of bars. If one bar costs $0.96, then 5 bars would cost $0.96 x 5 = $4.80. Therefore, the correct answer is $4.80. Option A, $3.30, is incorrect as it does not result from the correct multiplication. Option B, $3.80, is also incorrect as it does not reflect the total cost of 5 bars. Option C, $4.30, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate total cost of purchasing 5 bars of soap.

2. Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions. Which of the following represents the decimal 0.7777... as a fraction?

• A. 77/1000
• B. 70/99
• C. 777/900
• D. 7/9

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To express the repeating decimal 0.7777... as a fraction, let x = 0.7777... Multiplying both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point to the right gives: 10x = 7.7777... Subtracting the original equation from the new equation eliminates the repeating decimal: 10x - x = 7.7777... - 0.7777... 9x = 7 x = 7/9. Therefore, the decimal 0.7777... can be expressed as the fraction 7/9. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the decimal 0.7777... when converted to a fraction.

3. What temperature in Fahrenheit is 50°C? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)

• A. 110°F
• B. 122°F
• C. 130°F
• D. 140°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Substituting 50°C: F = (50 × 9/5) + 32 = 122°F. Therefore, 50°C is approximately 122°F. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 50°C to Fahrenheit.

4. Ratio and proportion: 6:10=24:x

• A. 40
• B. 25
• C. 240
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, use cross-multiplication: 6x = 10 x 24 6x = 240 Now, divide both sides by 6 to find x: x = 240 / 6 = 40 Therefore, the correct answer is A. 40. Choice B, 25, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C, 240, is incorrect because it represents the value that is given in the proportion and not the value of x. Choice D, 4, is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation for x.

5. How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?

• A. 184 oz
• B. 132 oz
• C. 128 oz
• D. 320 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.
